Debootstrap is used to create a Debian base system from scratch, withoutrequiring the availability of dpkg or apt. It does this by downloading .debfiles from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory whichcan eventually be chrooted into.It's especially useful if you need to work on debian-like systems without havingto install them over our beloved Slackware ;-)

As we do not have dpkg, remember to always pass an architecture to debootstrapusing the --arch switch.
